Importance. The use of interactive simulators in the training of IT specialists is considered. The relevance is due to the need for high-quality training of specialists in the field of information technology for the country’s digital economy in conditions of a significant shortage of personnel, high dynamics of knowledge in the subject area being studied and the need for a constant connection between training and the inclusion of students in real practice-oriented professional activities. A module for automated verification of program code for the Moodle LMS is developed and, using it, interactive simulators have been created for training specialists in the field of web technologies.Research Methods. To achieve the research goals, various methods are used, including analysis of pedagogical literature, generalization and systematization of data. When developing an interactive simulator, various methods and approaches are used, namely: structural and functional modeling to describe the design of the simulator; principles of object-oriented programming to ensure flexibility and extensibility of the simulator; integration into a distance learning system for using the simulator as part of a training course; statistical processing of experimental results to analyze the effectiveness of the simulator and make the necessary adjustments.Results and Discussion. Changes in the scientific and economic sphere of our country have increased the contradictions between the needs of society and the level of IT specialists produced by the personnel training system. Technological modernization, integration of scientific fields and the constant formation of new knowledge dictate new requirements for IT specialists. From a good educational course for training IT specialists, we expect not only a large volume of practical tasks, but also the ability to quickly receive feedback. Online simulators are successfully used by many educational platforms to intensify the training process of IT specialists and increase student involvement in the educational process. A module for automated checking of HTML and CSS code for the Moodle LMS is developed and online simulators were created based on it. An experiment is conducted to introduce the developed simulators into the educational process. Students, based on the assignments they receive, can write code on their own, work with errors, take hints, receive immediate feedback, and move on to the next assignments. To assess the effectiveness of using the developed simulators in the educational process, the ratio of the number of students who successfully completed practical tasks and those who started them is chosen. We compared this indicator with the indicator of successful completion of practical tasks in groups where there was no simulator. For the experiment, groups of students with a comparable initial level of competencies in the field of web development are selected. The experiment showed that in groups undergoing training using the developed interactive simulators, the ratio of successfully completed practical tasks is 18 % higher than in groups of students studying without the use of simulators.Conclusion. Effective selection of available instrumental resources allows you to quickly and economically implement distance learning components specific to IT specialties, in accordance with the needs of the digital economy of the Russian Federation. The use of such technological tools not only improves the quality of education, but also prepares students for the demands of the modern labor market. It is extremely important for higher education institutions to adapt to the changing needs of the digital economy, and the use of interactive simulators is one of the key steps in this direction. The developed module for automated checking of HTML and CSS code for the Moodle LMS and simulators built on its basis will strengthen the practical component of training specialists in web technologies in the higher education system. This will ensure that students acquire the practical skills and knowledge needed for their future careers in the rapidly evolving digital world.

Importance. The demand for a creative approach in many fields of activity is revealed, and creativity is also considered as a necessary part of professional training. The actualization of active methods (using the example of project technologies) for the university students’ creative potential development is worked out.Research Methods. The research object is project technologies, the subject is project technologies possibilities to develop the higher educational institutions students’ creative potential. The theoretical basis of the research is an interdisciplinary approach, the research axiological foundations are the subject-activity and functional-activity approach to the educational process. The research empirical basis is the practice of using project technologies in the teaching process.Results and Discussion. The possibilities and features of project technologies for the development of students’ creative potential are considered. The characteristic of the main conditions and necessary components of this process is given. The practice of using project technologies in teaching such disciplines as “Philosophy”, “Cultural codes”, “Great Books”, “History of Sociology” is analyzed.Conclusion. Project activity, developing the individual creative potential, solves an important task of professional training – the development the ability to independently set professional goals and implement their ideas.

Importance. The problems of youth antisocial behavior pedagogical prevention in the educational environment are described. Development issue actualization of a comprehensive, harmonious personality designed to resist destructive ideology is worked out. One of the important issues is the formation of the “right” social environment for young people. The purpose of the process is to bring up an educated individual with a positive civic position who is ready to become an active participant in society.Research Methods. The methodological basis of the research is philosophical-anthropological, axiological and personality-oriented approaches that determine the spiritual and moral education’s concept’s content guidelines. Within the framework of these approaches, scientific literature theoretical analysis, synthesis and generalization methods, as well as students’ personalized observation are used.Results and Discussion. The role of socio-pedagogical activity in antisocial behavior prevention context in the youth environment is substantiated. The characteristic of “social criteria” in determining the children and adolescents’ behavior is given. Antisocial behavior demonstration forms in the youth environment are clarified.Conclusion. The issue actualization shows the need to create a more advanced model of social and educational work on the antisocial behavior prevention among young people. Prevention should begin from early childhood. True upbringing, a positive parents’ example, caring for the child’s material and emotional satisfaction are the key to successful prevention of antisocial behavior. Not only educational institutions, but also federal and regional authorities should direct their efforts to achieve success in antisocial behavior prevention.

Importance. The research examines the linguistic and methodical heritage of R.P. Millrood and outlines the ways of development of the ideas formulated by him and related to the development and education of learners throuhg a foreign language.Materials and Methods. The results of the research undertaken by the scholar in different years are analyzed, his experience as language teacher and researcher is summarized, and the prospects for the development of his ideas are discussed.Results and Discussion. Emphasizing the importance of developing collective relationships in pre-service foreign language teachers’ educational activities, R.P. Millrood identifies readiness for practical activities as their key qualification quality, as well pedagogical experience as a significant factor in the formation of emotional regulation of their behaviour. Particular attention is paid to the formation of their professional beliefs, the main feature of which is the pronounced semantic self-regulation of the individual. The scholar developed a concept for schoolchildren’s development by means of a foreign language. His model of developmental education is based on the interaction of the humanistic qualities of the teacher’s personality, the goals, principles, content, methods, techniques, aids and planned results that are communication-oriented and activate their intellectual abilities. Issues of foreign-language teacher professional development and his/her involvement in research work, intercultural education and the formation of socio-cultural competence, the use of ICT, etc. are raised. This is reflected in the development of educational and methodical system in English, manuals for teachers, and in the implementation of international projects. The promising directions for the development of R.P. Millrood’s ideas are as follows: formation of would-be teachers’ academic community; application of cooperative learning technology; career-guidance education and development of schoolchildren; using artificial-intelligence technologies in foreign language teaching.Conclusion. The ideas of developmental teaching and education by means of a foreign language put forward by R.P. Millrood had a great influence on both theory and practice of school and university education. They remain relevant and developed in young researchers’ works.

Importance. Presented the main results of creating an educational dictionary taking into account modern linguodidactic requirements to the process of designing reference aids. The main content of the research is related to the presentation of the process of creating an electronic training dictionary of phraseologisms related to business and economics. The novelty of the research lies in the rapid development of computer lexicography, which makes it necessary to use training dictionaries in teaching a foreign language for professional purposes.Materials and Methods. The study dictionaries of business English, textbooks on teaching English of business and economics sphere, as well as scientific literature and Internet sources are presented. Theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the research topic, the method of solid sampling, modeling and design methods, as well as elements of statistical analysis and pedagogical experiment are used as the main methods.Results and Discussion. During the experiment, the indicators improved more than twice, which suggests that the training dictionary helps students to memorize phraseological units better. Results obtained in the research seem to make a certain contribution to the solution of an important problem of formation of terminological competence of students of economic specialties, to the development of digital educational lexicography.Conclusion. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of using the developed lexicographic resource in the process of teaching students English in the sphere of business communication, as well as in the possibility of using the developed approaches to dictionary design in the practical activity of compiling electronic dictionaries of English for special (professional) purposes.

Importance. The methodological potential of mental cards for interconnected teaching of a foreign language and the specialty of future social workers is considered. This technology, used as part of integrated subject-language teaching of the French language and specialty, helps students visualize and control the material being studied, providing the opportunity to see several ideas in a small space. The theoretical description of mental maps is analyzed, their importance for teaching the grammatical side of foreign language speech and its activation in classes in a non-linguistic university is substantiated.Materials and Methods. During the study the theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature and advanced methodological experience were used; experiential learning; observation; survey; descriptions; elements of quantitative calculations.Results and Discussion. To create educational mental cards, the following components are proposed: the main idea or purpose of studying the material, secondary (and subsequent) ideas, connections between components, illustrative material, color stimulus, and others corresponding to the topic of the course. An algorithm for working with mental cards has been defined, which includes four main stages, each of which may contain additional stages: informational (organization of work with the topic being studied), technological (working with elements of a mental card, their comprehension, discussion and memorization), procedural (correction of the mental card), final (discussion on authentic text fragments containing studied grammatical structures and their discussion). The following oral and written professional tasks were identified: sketch, testing, abstract, discussion. The feasibility of using mental cards in teaching grammar is confirmed in the experiment conducted by the authors; statistical calculations and questioning of students have proven the effectiveness of the proposed technology.Conclusion. The effectiveness of using mental cards in the learning process is predetermined by their properties, including clarity (you can view the vocabulary being studied and note shortcomings), attractiveness (aesthetic appearance), timeliness (see what information is missing), possibility of revision (allows you to remember and assimilate the material, identify the causes of possible difficulties). This technology demonstrates a wide range of possible methods for the development of linguistic thinking, both in the field of analyzing vocabulary and grammar in the specialty being studied, and in using it for any stage of work at a non-linguistic university. The effectiveness of using mental cards for the formation of the grammatical side of foreign language speech in situations of professional communication, as well as for increasing motivation for learning a foreign language in the field of professional communication, is noted.

Importance. Artificial intelligence technologies can significantly expand the opportunities for students to form professional competencies during the study in higher education. At the same time, the effectiveness of teaching methods depends on a number of conditions. The purpose of the article is to identify and substantiate the list of organizational and pedagogical conditions of training law students to legal drafting in a foreign language through artificial intelligence tools.Materials and Methods. The research is conducted on the basis of analyzing scientific literature on psychology, pedagogy and methods of teaching foreign languages. The sample of sources included domestic scientific journals of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation list (category 1 and 2), as well as other modern sources: monographs and educational and methodical works.Results and Discussion. The author’s list of organizational and pedagogical conditions for training law students to legal drafting in a foreign language through artificial intelligence tools is identified and substantiated: a) the level of foreign language communicative competence – from Intermediate Mid to Advanced Mid; b) differentiation of law students’ study groups at the classes on foreign language; c) taking into account the peculiarities of specialist’s professional competence in the field of jurisprudence; d) the use of legal document constructors; e) the use of exercises system and tasks based on the following criteria.Conclusion. The novelty of the research consists in the development and substantiation of organizational and pedagogical conditions list of training law students to legal drafting in a foreign language through artificial intelligence tools. The obtained results can be used in the methods designing of teaching students of non-linguistic training direction in the development of professional competences based on the use of artificial intelligence technologies.

Importance. The problem of decreasing strength indicators in students is described. Insufficient use of strength exercises in the work with wrists and pre-shoulders in physical education classes in higher education institutions is revealed. Achieving of students optimal physical condition, increasing motor activity level, development of arm muscles and upper shoulder girdle strength abilities that solved through recreational aerobics are emphasized.Research Methods. The students of the Derzhavin Tambov State University took part in the research. The measurement of muscle strength of the hands is carried out with a hand dynamometer, research of the level and development of static strength endurance is carried out with test for holding a medical ball weighing 2 kg in the outstretched hands.Results and Discussion. The dynamometric measurements data of both right and left hands of junior women do not differ reliably from the results of senior women. The maximum strength of the women’s right arm is 25.11 kg and the left arm is 23.44 kg (p > 0.05). The average value in ball retention of the first year students is 85.31 s, the second year – 96.73 s, the third year – 112.62 s, the fourth year – 120.7 s. Comparison of the obtained test results shows a reliable improvement in the time of holding the ball in the outstretched hands among the senior students (p < 0.01). The obtained test values formed the basis of the scale for assessing the arms and upper shoulder girdle muscles static endurance development level of trainees.Conclusion. The deficit of motor activity in students, most clearly manifested by the senior years of study, negatively affects the development of hand strength. The variety of hand movements used in the aerobic part of the recreational aerobics class, as well as work with muscles in static and dynamic modes in strength training, have a positive effect on increasing the static endurance of the hands and upper shoulder girdle muscles of students.

Importance. A number of issues of circular and pendulum migrations in the city of Kizlyar during the Caucasian War as a part of the multi-vector Caucasian policy are developed.Materials and Methods. The theoretical basis of the research is the concept of frontier, which allows considering the fortresses along the Caucasian Line as zones of economic communication. The system approach allowed considering a set of strategies for the development of fortress towns along the Caucasian Cordon Line as components of Caucasian policy, based on various methods of policy implementation and having feedback.Results and Discussion. The socio-economic policy of the local administration is analyzed in the context of the Caucasian policy in general and the Caucasian War in particular. The economic frontier contributed to the influx of a large number of highlanders-itinerant-workers, which necessitated the regulation of migration processes and the formation of a trustee body over the highlanders. The development of capitalist relations, which were conditioned by the rapid pace of market development and, as a consequence, the increase in demand for the production sector, required an increase in the number of able-bodied population.Conclusion. Despite the limited competence, the trustee over the highlanders fulfilled the function of involving the highlanders in the socio-economic space of the empire, as well as taking into account the migration processes in the city, prevented the actions of non-peaceful highlanders, aimed at ruining the city and undermining the economic activity of Kizlyar as a key link in the provision supply of fortifications in the Eastern Caucasus, internal trade of the gavernorates of the empire, as well as prevented the sale of strategically important in the conditions of war goods to the mountains.

Importance. The life trajectories of the Russian Imperial Army officers group who stayed in the Crimea at the final stage of the “Great” Civil War are considered. The importance of the research lies in the fact that the sample is based on fates of the officers who served in various units in the Tambov governorate on the eve of the World War I and were subsequently plunged into the abyss of the national strife.Materials and Methods. The research is based on the materials of archival sources, Memory Books and electronic databases. The work is based on the prosopographical research method, which allowed to establish the life trajectories of the studied characters.Results and Discussion. It is found that of all the participants of the sample, only the revolution opponents were in Crimea. It is interesting that they were in each of the consideredunits. It is not found any mention of fellow soldiers who enlisted in the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army and fought on the peninsula.Conclusions. The denouement of the “Crimean Epopoeia” for most of them also looks typical in many respects. Someone was able to leave the peninsula, and for some it became “final residence”. In some cases it is also possible to trace the emigrant path of mentioned characters, which, has a very serious significance.

Importance. In recent years, historiography, mass media, and representatives of the political elite show a growing interest in the causes of Brexit, which led to Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. In this context, research into the Central-Eastern European and Baltic Countries Citizens Emigration to Great Britain, which contributed to the growth of anti-emigrant sentiment in the United Kingdom, is of particular importance. An important place in the study of emigration problems is occupied by analyzing the reasons for emigration and its perception by citizens of the region countriesResearch Methods. The historical and genetic method is used, which allowed to consider emigration in dynamics, reveal its causes, the main characteristics of migration flows and the perception of this process by different social groups.Results and Discussion. The socialist system collapse in Central-Eastern Europe and the Baltic States required the new governments to destroy the planned socialist economy and create new national economy organization principles. Its liberalization and integration into the world economy led at first to a decline in Gross Domestic Product, inflation, structural changes in the labor market and an increase in unemployment, especially in the difficult situation of young people. The gap in the level and quality of life between the Western Europe and Central-Eastern Europe and the Baltic states made the Eastern Europeans departure to the Great Britain attractive. Most potential emigrants according to sociological surveys and analytical research, including the commission of K. Dastman considered short-term emigration as a behavioral strategy.Conclusions. Difficulties in the Central-Eastern Europe and the Baltic States transition to a market economy result to an increase in migration attitudes among citizens. The main reason for emigration from Central-Eastern Europe and the Baltic states to Great Britain, as well as to other Western European countries, is economic reasons; the political factor did not play a significant role in all region countries.
